Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup (90g) mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened (for dough)
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for dough)
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, heat-treated
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup (135g) mini chocolate chips (for dough)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until glossy. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Fold until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls onto baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are set and centers look slightly underbaked. Cool completely.
- For cookie dough, beat softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Mix in milk and vanilla.
- Mix in heat-treated flour and salt. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Once cookies are cool, spread or pipe a generous layer of cookie dough on the flat side of half the cookies. Top with remaining cookies to form sandwiches.
- Optional: Chill assembled cookies in the fridge for 10 minutes to set the filling.
Notes
For best results, chill the assembled cookies for 10 minutes before serving. To heat-treat flour, bake it at 350°F for 5 minutes and let cool. For dairy-free, use vegan butter and plant milk. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for extra flavor.
